Daniel, The update worked perfectly - took about 20 minutes, but mostly because I was being hyper-cautious. I suspected it was an easy upgrade for someone familiar with the product; I got thrown into it in a mad rush, no experience with either product (service manager or tomcat), and told to

Actually, I don't want to have parallel versions going; 7.0.53 needs to go away to address the vulnerabilities found in the audit scan. Ideally everything should be the same as it is now, with the only difference being the app is using 7.0.69 rather than 7.0.53. On 6/10/2016 12:48 AM, Daniel
